Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] To clarify the distinction between the group of keys operated by the fingers of the right hand and the group of keys operated by the fingers of the left hand, and improve the learning speed and input speed in keyboard input. It also reduces key input mistakes. [Structure] In a keyboard 4, one or a plurality of keys 3 located near a boundary between a key group 1 operated with a finger of the right hand and a key group 2 operated with a finger of the left hand have different surface states or shapes. This is a keyboard input device that is different from the keys and that can be operated by clearly distinguishing between the key group 1 operated by the right finger and the key group 2 operated by the left finger. [Effect] When the keyboard input device according to the present invention is used, the boundary between the keys operated by the fingers of the right hand and the keys operated by the fingers of the left hand becomes clear, so that the boundaries between the fingers of the left and right hands are always recognized. It is possible to perform key input operation with a sense of security. Therefore, the learning speed in key input,
This has the effect of significantly improving the input speed and significantly reducing the number of key input mistakes.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This device relates to a keyboard.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the technology up to now, a device for distinguishing a key for a specific finger without directly looking at the keyboard was used, but with the group of keys operated by the fingers of the right hand and the fingers of the left hand without directly looking at the keyboard. No measures were taken to discriminate the boundaries of the keys to be operated.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 When inputting from the keyboard, the learning speed and the input speed were slow because the distinction between the group of keys operated by the fingers of the right hand and the group of keys operated by the fingers of the left hand was not clear. Also, there were many input mistakes. The problem to be solved by this device is to clarify the distinction between the group of keys operated by the fingers of the right hand and the group of keys operated by the fingers of the left hand, and improve the learning speed and input speed in keyboard input. Also, the present invention relates to a device capable of reducing input errors.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 When inputting from the keyboard, the learning speed and the input speed were slow because the distinction between the group of keys operated by the fingers of the right hand and the group of keys operated by the fingers of the left hand was unclear. Also, there were many mistakes in input. The present invention solves these problems by changing the surface state or shape of one or more keys located near the boundary between the key group operated by the right hand finger and the key group operated by the left finger. The solution is to make it different from the key. The following are related to the present invention.

That is, the surface state or shape of one or a plurality of keys located in the vicinity of the boundary between the group of keys operated by the fingers of the right hand and the group of keys operated by the fingers of the left hand may differ from other keys. It is a keyboard input device characterized by the following. The implementation method may be as in each of the examples to be introduced later, but it goes without saying that various other methods can be adopted.

[0006]

[Action]

 The keyboard input device according to the present invention is used as follows. On the keyboard, make the surface state or shape of one or more keys located near the boundary between the group of keys operated by the fingers of the right hand and the group of keys operated by the fingers of the left hand different from other keys. This makes it possible to clearly distinguish between the keys operated by the fingers of the right hand and the keys operated by the fingers of the left hand on the keyboard.

【Example】

 Example 1 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing Example 1. In the first embodiment, when the boundary between the key group 1 operated with the right finger and the key group 2 operated with the left finger is as shown by the alternate long and short dash line 5 in FIG. 9, the key operated by the right finger is used. When the key top surface of the keys 3 located near the boundary between the group 1 and the key group 2 operated by the finger of the left hand is made rough so that the surface state becomes different from other keys. An example is shown. On the keyboard 4, the group of keys 1 operated by the fingers of the right hand and the group of keys 2 operated by the fingers of the left hand can be distinguished only by the tactile sensation of the fingers.

Second Embodiment FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the key top surface of the plurality of keys 3 located near the boundary between the key group 1 operated by the finger of the right hand and the key group 2 operated by the finger of the left hand is made rough. , Another example of the case where the surface state is different from other keys. Even in this case, the effect is the same.

Third Embodiment FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment. In the third embodiment, the key top surface of the plurality of keys 3 located near the boundary between the key group 1 operated by the right finger and the key group 2 operated by the left finger is made rough. , Another example of the case where the surface state is different from other keys. Even in this case, the effect is the same.

Fourth Embodiment FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a fourth embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the key top surface of the plurality of keys 3 located near the boundary between the key group 1 operated by the finger of the right hand and the key group 2 operated by the finger of the left hand is made rough. , Another example of the case where the surface state is different from other keys. Even in this case, the effect is the same.

Fifth Embodiment FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a fifth embodiment. In the fifth embodiment, the key top surface of the plurality of keys 3 located near the boundary between the key group 1 operated by the right finger and the key group 2 operated by the left finger is made rough. , Another example of the case where the surface state is different from other keys. Even in this case, the effect is the same.
